development, exclusion, tourism policies, inclusive tourismAbstract
With the erosion of concepts such as "sustainable tourism" or "responsible tourism", designed to correct the most harmful aspects of this activity or aspired to improve the relationship between tourism and society, the category of inclusive tourism" takes relevance. This essay reconstructs the use of the term "inclusion" in tourism in the conceptualization of "inclusive growth", "inclusive development", and "inclusive tourism". These different uses of the concept, as well as the practical strategies in terms of policies they have inspired, are evaluated from an emancipatory perspective. Beyond the limits and potentialities of the idea of inclusive tourism is considered the opportunity to question and analyse tourism from the tension between exclusion and inclusion.
